The record

A Grenzmauer 75 element with a graffito outside the district museum, in the borough the border ran through twice.

A Grenzmauer 75 element carrying a graffito stands outside the Museum Treptow, the district museum for Treptow-Köpenick. The Berlin Wall Foundation catalogues it as MAU-744, photographed in 2020.

Treptow is a good borough for a district museum to keep one. The border ran along its western edge against Kreuzberg and Neukölln, crossed the Spree at the Schlesischer Busch, and turned south through the fields towards Rudow — three of this catalogue's Berlin records are on that line, including the command post at Schlesischer Busch that survived because an art museum started working to save it before the border regime had even been wound up.

Treptow also supplied the segment that went to Albinea in northern Italy: the district's mayor supported the photographer Mario Crotti's request, and Crotti drove up from Emilia-Romagna with a low-loader in September 1999 to collect it.
